Bags
RUX Bag 25L
A sturdy, easy-carry tote for camp and short days by the water. Great in rain, but its sewn seams need keeping out of puddles.
Bags
The North Face Base Camp WP Duffel 95L
Nine months of salt spray, wet dinghies and rough quays proved its durability and weather protection, with clear limits in carry comfort and organisation.
Bags
Hyperlite Mountain Gear Unbound 40
Three months across Quebec proved the Unbound 40 is comfortable, exceptionally well organised and impressively durable, with limited ventilation and a firm load ceiling.
Bags
